I'm not happy with my dental crowns, how do I approach my doctor?

December 31, 2021
Asked By:Versatile307 in Sanger, California

I had 4 crowns and 2 veneers put on my front top teeth . I'm not happy with the shape and angle of the front 2. I feel like proportions on all of them are off. One of the canine veneers looks round and the surface is as wide as the front teeth. I love my Dentist. I'm not happy with the end result. I've spent over 25000 on alignment , implants and now crowns. I want to be happy with the result. Am I being picky? Should I just leave it alone?

Patricia Moezinia, DDS says:

Since the structure of the tooth is intact, I would be inclined to try veneers, as an anterior tooth requires high esthetics, so I would first recommend trying temporary veneers to agree on shape, size and color.

Richard Gochman, DDS (retired) says:

I am sorry you are having such difficulty. There are probably a combination of 2 reasons the veneer is not staying on. 1- it is very likely that the inside of the veneer as well as the tooth are not being treated properly to eliminate contaminants, and increase the bond strength of the cement...
